Research on protection strategy of microgrid
This paper presents a comprehensive review of the available microgrid protection schemes which are based on traditional protection principles and emerging techniques such as machine learning, data-mining, wavelet transform, etc. . Abstract—Protection of microgrid has become challenging due to the hosting of various actors such as distributed generation, energy storage systems, information and communication tech-nologies, etc. Different approaches may be used to detect events in or near microgrids, properly operate, and reliably protect the microgrid, its. . With the rapid development of electrical power systems in recent years, microgrids (MGs) have become increasingly prevalent. MGs improve network efficiency and reduce operating costs and emissions because of the integration of distributed renewable energy sources (RESs), energy storage, and. .
